With makeup, it's not awful as without but it's still kind of prominent. There's nothing else I think would affect rush, but I guess it makes me a little nervous about trying. In everyday life, I don't let it affect me, I don't carry myself as if I'm ashamed of it (although in college without knowing anyone I admit it will be tough) and I have been able to have a pretty normal life. I'm just wondering because this seems to be a really appearance-based kind of thing, and I was wondering how badly it might hurt my chances at UW-Madison. I have good grades, extracurriculars, good stories to tell - I think otherwise I'm a really good candidate.

Thank you so much for reading

I can't comment on your particular school. But don't predetermine that recruitment is an "Appearance-based kind of thing" Go in with an open mind and just enjoy recruitment.
